Beast Taming: I can evolve indefinitely

Chapter 141 Beast Soul Master Appears

Following Zhou Yan, several more people soon appeared, including Xiao Yuan and Li Mu, who were fourth-tier beast tamers.

These individuals are among the older and more advanced in this training camp, and they have all learned about runes to some extent.

However, it was clear that she was still a bit inferior to Bai Qi and Lu Qing, as she had obvious signs of injury, indicating that she had made a mistake during the process of solving the puzzle.

What surprised Bai Qi was that Gu Shan emerged only a few minutes slower than Xiao Yuan and the others.

This ancient mountain, though seemingly quiet and unassuming, is actually quite formidable in every aspect; it seems to be one that likes to keep its strengths hidden.

"You did indeed leave that secret room before me."

Seeing Bai Qi emerge before him, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly, showing no surprise whatsoever, while Li Mu's expression grew increasingly solemn.

We lost again...

As time passed, many more people left the Cube Chamber, each one more disheveled than the last. By the time those were forcibly brought out of the Chamber an hour later were practically indistinguishable from those who had just returned from fleeing a disaster.

White autumn tea is one of them.

"Pfft... Ah Cha, what happened to you?!"

Seeing Bai Qiucha's disheveled appearance, completely lacking her usual elegance, Bai Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, seeing that Bai Qiucha was showing signs of getting angry and embarrassed, he forced himself to hold it in.

However, Zhou Yan didn't care about any of that. After recognizing Bai Qiucha, he burst into laughter, completely ignoring the strange looks from those around him.

"Hahaha... Ah Cha, you've finally met your match, hahaha..."

Seeing this, Bai Qiucha fell silent, turned her head away, and ignored everyone.

From childhood to adulthood, he has almost never fallen behind others in either practical combat or theory. The only thing he has never put much effort into learning is runes. Although he has spent some time studying them recently, it seems that he really has no talent in this area. In the end, he was forcibly expelled.

It's not that he can't face failure, but being ridiculed by people like Bai Qi is one thing, but being ridiculed by Zhou Yan, a poor student, is a real blow.

"But time's up, why hasn't Instructor Luo announced the rules for the next round yet?"

After everyone's due date, Xiao Yuan also noticed something was wrong.

If Luo Xiang summoned them in an emergency to test their rune mastery and give them a little push, then the purpose has been achieved, and they should be teleported out now.

It's clear that there's some other arrangement for keeping them in this space.

But after not speaking for so long, Xiao Yuan instinctively sensed a sense of unease.

"Did he run off somewhere again and forget about it?"

Zhou Yan tilted his head and thought for a moment before expressing his opinion, which surprisingly garnered the approval of many people.

Bai Qi looked around and said, "Probably not, but my intuition tells me he'll definitely cause some trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a splash of red suddenly appeared in the originally pure white space, and then quickly spread, dyeing the entire space red.

They arrived as expected.

Seeing the surrounding environment, Bai Qi thought to himself, "Just as I thought." Just as he was about to say something, a crack suddenly appeared in the red dome above his head, and streaks of blood slowly seeped out from it.

Holy crap, after the interdimensional killing array comes a certain Sword God Realm?

"This doesn't feel like a normal secret realm mechanism; it's more like a Beast Soul Master?"

Just as Bai Qi was complaining, Xiao Yuan and the others' expressions changed, and the other beast tamers also noticed the abnormality and summoned their pets one after another.

"A Beast Soul Master? No way..."

Upon hearing Xiao Yuan and the others' words, Bai Qi also became serious.

Although there has been little chaos in the past twenty years, the Federation has never lessened its vigilance against the Beast Tribe, humanity's greatest enemy, and Beast Soul Masters are the vanguard of the Beast Tribe.

Beast Soul Masters were originally human, but unlike the humans living in the Federation, they were all abducted or raised by ferocious beasts.

As for its purpose, it is naturally intended to serve as nourishment for some higher races.

Similar to the contracts between federal beast tamers and their pets, some highly intelligent beasts in tribes also plant parasitic contracts on some humans.

Through this parasitic contract, the ferocious beast can extract the soul essence of these humans at any time to strengthen itself. If any human who has been bound by the contract cannot meet its needs, its soul will be directly devoured.

However, in return, as long as they can survive the cruel exploitation of this contract, their souls will be strengthened and gradually move closer to the ferocious beasts, becoming the Beast Soul Masters that Xiao Yuan and others talk about.

At the same time, because their souls are assimilated by the ferocious beasts, these beast soul masters can also acquire some of the ferocious beasts' abilities. They can even use their mental power to condense the soul bodies of ferocious beasts for combat, which is said to be called martial souls.

However, with the expansion of the Luo Net's coverage area in recent years, it should be very difficult for Beast Soul Masters to infiltrate the Federation, let alone this being the headquarters of the Beast Tamer Association.

I have a feeling that Luo Xiang is behind this again...

Although Bai Qi had some doubts, he didn't take any chances and summoned Alpha. Just as the students were summoning their pets, the blood slowly gathered together and transformed into the shape of a demon.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect to gain so much from just invading a secret realm. If I capture these young human beast tamers, Lord Blood Nightmare Demon will surely reward me handsomely!"

The evil spirit looked around, and when it saw the nearly one hundred young beast tamers below, its eyes suddenly blazed with ferocity, as if it wanted to devour Bai Qi and the others alive.

"Blood Nightmare Demon? It seems to be a Beast Soul Master after all."

Upon hearing the evil spirit's words, Bai Qiucha's expression changed instantly, confirming the source of this strange event.

As the son of a legend, he certainly knew more about the Beast Tribe than others, and this Blood Nightmare Demon was a legendary undead creature in the Beast Tribe.

"Are you sure? That's good!"

Zhou Yan showed no fear upon hearing this and immediately entered the state of possession by the spirit. Without waiting for Bai Qiucha and the others to stop him, he charged straight at the evil spirit.

"What a fierce little girl! It's a pity I'm not in physical form right now, so I can't fight you."

The evil spirit grinned menacingly, making no attempt to dodge Zhou Yan, allowing him to pierce it with his gun, and Zhou Yan simply vanished.

"This guy is still so impulsive."

Seeing this, Xiao Yuan sighed mindlessly. Just as he was about to remind the others to be careful, a blood-red door suddenly appeared on the ground beneath everyone's feet. Caught off guard, the students had no time to react and fell in one after another.

"Alpha, protect me."

Seeing the blood-red portal beneath his feet, Bai Qi immediately sent Alpha back to his side to protect him, and then fell straight down. Xiao Yuan and the others seemed to understand that they couldn't attack this evil spirit, and they all made the same choice.

In an instant, the once bustling space was filled only with blood-red demons.

"Hehehe..."

……

After falling for a while, Alpha finally landed with Bai Qi in his arms, and Bai Qi immediately summoned the husky and Gamma.

Now that Bai Qiucha has confirmed that it was the Beast Soul Master who was behind this, he naturally needs to make thorough preparations. Moreover, in such an unfamiliar place, relying on just one strong attacker is not enough.

"Shuke and Beta, watch your surroundings! Gamma, remember to protect me! Alpha, fight anyone you see!"

Bai Qi gave instructions to his three pets, then picked up Gamma and carried it to his body. The three pets did not hesitate and immediately got ready for battle.

Crackling!

(Don't worry, boss, I won't let any enemy get away.)

Wang Wang!

(So, does this mean I can finally freely express my art?)

Snap snap snap!

(I'll eat them all!)

Although this was their first time facing a Beast Soul Master, they could sense from their own Beast Tamer's state that this was completely different from previous battles, so they were all exceptionally serious.

Seeing this, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction and then began to check the surrounding situation.

The environment here is similar to the previous cubic chamber, also square and rectangular, but much larger, and all six sides are blood red, clearly the work of that blood-red demon.

"Is this a plan to separate us and then defeat us one by one? It seems a bit redundant."

Bai Qi frowned slightly, feeling that this incident was somewhat abnormal. Just then, a large hole suddenly appeared in the blood-red wall, and a boy with sunken eyes and skin and bones slowly walked out of it.

"A third-tier beast tamer? You really look down on me."

A hint of displeasure flashed in the boy's eyes, and he shouted at Bai Qi again in his hoarse voice, "Hey, I suggest you surrender now, and I can make you suffer less."

"So this is what a Beast Soul Master is? Apart from looking a bit ethereal, they're not much different from a normal human."

Bai Qi looked the boy up and down curiously, but couldn't see anything unusual. A hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

I thought a Beast Soul Master would be some kind of ferocious and terrifying being, or someone with an aura of demonic power, but it turns out he just looks like a drug addict.

He was initially tempted when he heard that Beast Soul Masters could summon Martial Souls, but now he thinks better of it, as it might ruin his good looks.

"Am I being looked down upon?"

The boy clearly misunderstood Bai Qi's thoughts. Already displeased, he became even more murderous. With a thought, a dragon-shaped soul slowly emerged from his body.

"I was going to give you a chance, but now it seems you'll just have to obediently become nourishment for my Ghost Dragon!"

The boy snorted coldly, and the ghost dragon behind him immediately flapped its wings and silently appeared behind Bai Qi, biting at Bai Qi.

Holy crap, they actually launched a sneak attack!

Are all Beast Soul Masters so lacking in martial ethics?

Seeing this, Bai Qi, in a completely unladylike manner, rolled over and narrowly avoided the Ghost Dragon's attack. Alpha also appeared in time and slashed at the Ghost Dragon with his sword.

"It's useless. Physical attacks can't harm our Beast Soul Masters' Martial Souls."

Seeing this, the boy curled his lip in disdain, intending to teach Bai Qi a lesson, when suddenly he heard the ghost dragon let out a mournful cry, and a deep wound appeared on its mouth.

"Is this all the Martial Soul you've got? It's no different from an undead creature..."
